Burjor Lord Aka Buji Lord...
Born on 19th July 1941 at Bombay ( Mumbai ) in both-sided musical families. Father Cawas
Lord was a Musician with British Army, Mother from a joint family with Mr. Behram Irani,
who had contributed for the First talkie movie Alam Aara in 19…. ,
During school days was learning Piano & Mouth Organ .
After S S C my practice sessions started from 7 in the morning till about 7 in the night, with of
course breakfast & lunch breaks. List of instruments, Percussion instruments, Drums ( practiced
on rubber pads ), Accordion ( under Mr. Adi Desai ) Glockenspiel, Vibraphone & later
Xylophone after purchasing one.
Daddy insisted to get a better knowledge of music one should also know Indian classical music. So
to obtain knowledge of Indian Talas learned Tablas under Inam Khan Saheb of Delhi Gharana
and Nagara under Kishen Maharaj & for Indian Ragas Harmonium under Babu Singh.
Daddy also taught me that to be a good drummer you should use both your hands & legs
independently, & for that it was necessary to be ambidextrous. For that he told me to use my left
hand also as much as right hand to tie shoe laces, open doors, locks, button shirts etc. with left
hand.
Started Music career in 1958 ( age 17 ) playing drums as a featured drummer and accordionist
for couple of dance bands and orchestras & In 1959 joined Cine Musician’s Association to work
for Bombay Film Studios.
Because of my studies of Indian Talas experimentally combined with my technique of Jazz and
Latin American percussion instruments along with mastery of Mallet instruments like
Xylophone, Vibraphone etc., created a unique style of my own to blend Western Instruments in
Indian style melodies, which made me a leading Percussionist in Bombay Studios for more than
25 years.
In addition to the above shows I feel proud to be a member of various Patriotic Defense shows
for our country in New Delhi , with Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru & I was on stage
when Pandit Nehru had tears in his eyes after hearing the beginning of “ O mere watan ke logo ”.
I feel lucky to have opportunity to attend various defense shows with leading Music Directors for
prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi , then Rajiv Gandhi, Defence Minister
Sharad Pawar & later Sanjay Gandhi, to collect funds for various national relief schemes.
But undoubtedly the best Defense Show of my life would be my trip to Nathula, just after the
Chinese aggression in 1965.. Write up in Calcutta newspaper. “ Film people entertain Jawans
within 200 yards of the Chinese ”. The troupe of film entertainers, led by Music Director C.
Ramchandra, during its sojourn in the Sikkim Sector, achieved the distinction of being the first
group of film personalities to reach the height of nearly 15,000 feet to regale Jawans and that too
within two hundred yards of Chinese armed forces.”
Films Career :
For rendering Ghungroos in Indian Dance songs all the Choreographers like Gopi Krishna,
Hiralal, Sohanlal, Saroj Khan etc. insisted that either Daddy, Kersi or Buji was called to play
ghungroos, as they use to render the dance steps, then we would write notations & then play, so
it would match with the dance movements in films.
Ramsay Brothers well known for their productions of Horror movies use to tell Music Directors (
even if I was not permanent with those music directors,to call me for background music as they
liked some horror effects I use to produce with drums.
Indian Classical :
Towards Indian Classical Music Played Vibrophone & Percussion for Indo Western
Orchestration called “ Melody and Rhythm “ composed by Pt. Ravi Shankar.
Also recorded total ghungroos synchronization for one and a half hour Indian Ballet called
“Chandalika “ danced and choreographed by Vijayantimala Bali and music by Pt. Ravi Shankar.

Sanjeev sir ❤👍 very nice sahi baat kaha aap ne
@@wakilahmedansari3296 I treat Sanjeev sahab as one of the biggest admirer of Rafisaab. He is constantly in touch with Rafisaab related matters.

Rafi Sahab ke Geet sunkar hi mai zinda hu kudrati Awaz ke malik the mere Rafi Sahab
Aj rafi saheb ji ke janam din par sabhi ko lakh lakh badhai ho
बार बार दिल ये गायें, बार बार दिन ये आयें, आप जियें करोड़ों साल जन्नत में, ये हमारी है आरज़ू. Happy birthday to Rafi sahab, our farishta.
LORD family's contribution to Hindi cine music 🎵🎶 is beyond imagination _ all'musicians were underpaid..
exploited.. recording companies made crores of rupees ... Rafi Sahab was a gentle soul... almost sang free for the world...
Old vintage music is still so amazing , so RICH...part of our life 🥀🎶 hats off to Burzar LORD sir...his unique contribution to music is unthinkable...
What you say about musicians being underpaid is probably correct. But they were better off than musicians of today. Earlier they were underpaid. Now they are unemployed due to technology in music. As Buji Lord says, one person can today play the full orchestra. No wonder today's musicians pine for the earlier days
I appreciate you for noticing such contribution.Now I am cent-per-cent in agreement with you.
Burjy sahab aap bhi dhanya ho gaye Rafi sahab ke sath kaam karke..
RAFI SAHAB AAP GREAT HO SADA GREAT RAHOGE
Happy birthday rafi
Rafi sahab na ho k bhi hamare beech hain aur hamesh rahenge. Unke geet to jab tak hum hain hamare zehn me rahenge aur akhir tak sunte rahenge. Aaj ka sangeet to hamare ooper si jata hai.
Rafi Sahab...V love u..
Janab Haji Mohd Rafi Saheb the best singer of all time and the most humble human being. Everyone who has worked with the Master will feel honoured and would like to work with him over and over again.
He worked so much with Sahab but didn't have a single word to say about him or even his singing. Bizarre.
It is weird isn’t it?
Rafi sahab was great. Even 43 years after his death , Rafi sahab provides livelihood to so many people who upload the videos pertaining to Rafi sahab.
Rafi sahab ko janamdin ki badhai ho .. aap jaisa koi nahi tha , na hoga sahab
Great mohamad rafi sahb aj b zinda han
Or hamash zinda rahain gy
I love you Mohd Rafi Sahab
Burjor Sahib has remained a legend despite retirement. The Lord Family have made a contribution to music that is unmatched anywhere. A humble team of gifted artistes who have helped so many others without utterance.

Well presented show Faruukh
I always wanted to meet and know this great drummer , I heard his work all my life ,learned many things from his recorded songs ....I learned listening to these master's , copy them exactly ..( .it's more tough to copy ) ...after many years of practice and passion ..I played all over and travelled to many countries and still enjoying my passion of music as a drummer and percussionist ...thx for bringing these great musicians
He seems to be very difficult person to interview. Kudos to Farukh Saab to get him talking.
😎
Happy Birthday to you Rafi Sahab

Well said Burjor Sahib. I wish I can meet yourself.
Swarsamrat rafisab he is un forgot able
बढ़िया 👍
This is very good research. Very detail interview and the questions were very well formed too!
I am a huge fan of your speech and delivery, Sir!
Missed you on the screen!!!
Great
🙏
Highly appreciated the efforts taken to preserve the legendary Sir Bujji Lords body of work. Suggested, plz take care of the presentation. Very poor. Apologies.
Good episode, but Aap Buji Sir se unke khud ke baare mein jyada puchte toh bahot accha hota, rahi baat Rafi Sahab ki, toh woh ek Khalifa theh...🙏🙏🙏
Baji ,where r u now?Still playing?
Inse bulwana bahut mushkil tha magar aapne achhi koshish ki
He doesn’t like Rafi Saheb. That’s obvious. This man thinks very high of himself. Heb told me about an incident of the 1966 West-Indies tour. The first time he ever went outside India, thanks to Rafi Saheb. He felt that Rafi Saheb didn’t like, that he got more media attention than Rafi Saheb from Trinidad newspaper and that after this Rafi Saheb attitude towards him changed and Saheb was not amused. Can you imagine this??? We all know how crazy people were for Rafi Saheb in the West Indies and still are. Till date people talk about Rafi Saheb’s visit to these countries and about the great man himself. A man who is considered an angel by almost every one in Hindi cinema. And than we have this man who thinks Rafi Saheb was jealous about him because of media coverage in newspapers??? I was very disappointed in him when I learned this from chatting with him. I had the same expectation, that this man most know a lot about Rafi Saheb, but it was a total disappointment.
And his answer on his wedding, that Rafi Saheb not came for him but for his father, isn’t that weird?
You need to edit this video to fit in with vocalisations. When you (narrator) was speaking or asking questions, Burjur Lord Sahab was still speaking which, obviously was not correct.
Sir mujhe apka contact info chaiye
Main ek fauji hu
Rafi sahab ko 17 sal se ga raha hu
Burjor Saab ki awaaz clear nahi aa rahi hai
Kya huva tera wada..
Ye musician to acche hai
Rafisahab ke sath bhi rahehai
Lekin Rafisahab ke bareme
Kuch bhi na kah sake iska
Afsos huwa.
He spoke more about himself than Rafisahab. Very self centered personality.
One of the most boring conversation I have ever heard. He did not speak anything about Rafi sahab much.
